Hey! I have something new.

After givin' it a second thought, I think I should give this to you, so you can reassure me this time! It's about the "secret scroll" that appears in the Tenchi Meidou Cutscenes!

Mah stuff
I wanted to update mah comment over at the same page, but... yeah... XD

Whoa! That's awesome! :3

Here's somethin' new from my side:

main=

The "secret scrolls" or "scrolls of protection" (「ごほうクんぐ」 aka "Gohoukungu") Ozunu mentions in his last line from the first part of the "The Enno bloodline's destiny"-section can be translated in multiple ways.

While there's no official translation, that would fit here, he is obviously referring to the scroll of protection, that is also mentioned in the manga and in Battle Raiden.


 * -|spoilers=

In the manga, Amon takes half of the "secret scroll" with him, while Battle Raiden features it as the "scroll of protection", which protects me from getting hurt too much when I use Rudra.

It is the scroll that bears the spell to awaken me and to transform me, which becomes clear, once Chiaki reaches the end of Tenchi Meidou's Stage 1 and unseals my Chibi self.


 * -|possible translations=

Here are some rough translations for "Gohoukungu".


 * "secret scroll"
 * This is the one, that was also used in the manga and the most closest translation, of what the object is
 * "scroll of protection"
 * This is the one, that was used in Battle Raiden, referencing the connection between the scroll and the Guardian Bracelet
 * "secret enchantment"
 * This one references the power of the Vajura, but would omit the scroll part
 * "good morning", "morning sun"
 * The most literal translations of the original word, which reference it's connection to the holy elements of Vajura and Rudra

So many possibilities. The latter ones would make no sense unless you know the backgrounds with the Vajura and old man Ozunu.

So, adding the whole light thing wasn't wrong. Also, we should keep the "secret scroll", unless anyone is against it.

To Semerone

Nah. That's not right Seme. It's the scroll burnin' the evils. There's no "light" in the original text.

So maybe, we should call it the "scroll of protection" instead, just like DynamicDesigns did? I mean, after giving it a second thought, this whole thing with Tenchi Meidou references both Goki and the Guardian Bracelet/Bracelet of Protection to some extend, so why not?
